Science Communication

The requirement for students and scientists to engage in science communication has increased tremendously in recent years as there are numerous societal benefits as well as benefits for researchers. However, research shows that graduate students or scientists may not be necessarily fully equipped to take on the task due to limited time and access to training, tools or resources.

Whether you’re an individual, research team or organization, we at Science Melting Pot, help you take your research outside to the public through training workshops and formats such as multimedia, videos, art, games or simulations. These tools can be used for science communication on social media, websites, lab tours, science festivals or community events.
